Occupational exposure to anaesthetic gases associated with tripling of risk of multiple sclerosis
Occupational exposure to anaesthetic gases may triple the risk of multiple sclerosis, finds a study of nurses in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2002-12-17)
Invasive procedures still performed on conscious children despite new anaesthetic techniques
Many invasive bone marrow procedures are still carried out in conscious children despite the safety and effectiveness of modern anaesthetic and deep sedation techniques, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. The findings also show a striking difference between the North American and European approaches to managing painful procedures... view more... (2001-06-19)
Female vets at risk of miscarriage from anesthetic gases and pesticides
Female vets run twice the risk of miscarriage as a result of exposure to anaesthetic gases and pesticides, suggests a study published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2008-04-03)
77 percent of European pigs are castrated without anesthetic
The castration of pigs prevents the "boar taint" smell in the meat and allows them to contain more fat. However in practice this can be very different. view more (2009-12-10)
Scientists a step closer to understanding how anaesthetics work in the brain
An important clue to how anaesthetics work on the human body has been provided by the discovery of a molecular feature common to both the human brain and the great pond snail nervous system, scientists say today. view more (2007-07-20)
Could this be the end for injections?
Nightmares of doctors or dentists with oversized hypodermic needles could soon be a thing of the past. A new painless way of delivering drugs through the skin is described in the journal BMC Medicine this week - and needles are not involved. The technique, called microscission, uses a stream of gas to bombard small areas of the skin with tiny... view more... (2004-04-14)
Scientist gets award for sending people to sleep
One of the UK's top scientists will receive a prestigious award for more than 20 years of research into the mechanisms of action of anaesthetic agents. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) will make Professor Mervyn Maze, from Imperial College London, the recipient of its Excellence in Research award for 2003 at the Society's Annual... view more...

System unveiled for regulating anesthesia via computer
A team of researchers from the Canary Islands has developed a technique for automatically controlling anaesthesia during surgical operations. view more (2010-02-19)
Cambridge University Press - Greenwich Medical Media Limited
The Syndics of Cambridge University Press are very pleased to announce the acquisition of Greenwich Medical Media Limited (GMM) in a transaction brokered by Bertoli Mitchell. GMM, launched in 1995, have built their reputation on a portfolio of products that includes books, journals and websites. In book publishing they have grown to achieve UK... view more... (2003-12-19)
The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye. view more (2008-02-26)
TAKE CARE - YOUR CAMPING STOVE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH
Inadequate instructions on how to change gas canisters on camping stoves is resulting in unnecessary injuries, write Adrian Richards and colleagues from the Odstock Centre for Burns, Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Salisbury District General Hospital in this week's BMJ. Based on experiences with nine patients that the Centre treated during... view more... (1999-02-26)
Awareness under anaesthesia-findings from research by University of Leicester professor
It is the stuff of nightmares-you are under anaesthetic during an operation but you are fully conscious. Aware of every incision -yet unable to communicate that fact. view more (2006-01-25)
A POX on syn
A way to convert natural gas into raw materials for the chemical industry and generate power as a by-product could lead to more environmental benign manufacturing processes. view more (2007-09-12)
People are more suggestible under laughing gas
The pain-relieving effects of nitrous oxide - laughing gas - may be enhanced by suggestion or hypnosis, according to a new study by UCL (University College London). The study's findings - that people are more suggestible under the gas - mean that dental patients may benefit from being coached to relax while undergoing sedation. view more (2009-01-09)
UK researchers develop novel treatment for fibroids
UK researchers have developed a novel method of treating uterine fibroids that allows women to be treated under local anaesthetic as outpatients. Their technique, which uses a laser guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is reported today (Friday 27 September) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction.* Around a... view more...

High Gas Prices Cause Chemical Production Shut Down
High and volatile UK gas prices reached new levels over the last few days and have left some chemical companies no choice but to shut down operations. The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) now calls upon the DTI and OFGEM to take immediate, urgent action to resolve the situation before sites are closed down and companies make the decision not... view more...

Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs, suggests a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Teflon filters were used to collect any particulate matter pollution emitted from gas and electric cookers. The residue was then applied to cultured cells that normally line the fine branching tubes of the lungs. The cells... view more... (2001-02-10)
Methods for monitoring CO2 emissions have limitations, inadequate for international climate treaty
Current methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions have limitations that make it difficult to monitor CO2 emissions and verify an international climate treaty, says a new National Research Council letter report to the administrator of NASA, Charles F. Bolden Jr. view more (2009-08-03)
Cosmic thermostats provide clue to 30 year old astronomy puzzle (Embargoed until 1900 hrs London time Wednesday 17 July 2002)
A cosmic phenomenon involving pockets of hot gas in space which appear not to cool down has been puzzling astronomers for three decades. Now new research by Dr Christian Kaiser at the University of Southampton and Professor Marcus Brüggen of the International University Bremen, Germany, shows that the energy of the hot gas is actually... view more...

New material could make gases more transportable
Chemists at the University of Liverpool have developed a way of converting methane gas into a powder form in order to make it more transportable. view more (2008-11-21)
